Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

For decades, computers have relied on digital logic and binary code. That approach is now running into physical and economic limits. Engineers are revisiting analog computing, a method once considered ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...
